To me pretending to be a manager and not the owner is not only dishonest it’s kinda pointless because in less than ten minutes they can find out online or by calling the county courthouse who owns the property they live in .

This protects you so tenant cannot claim security deposit was $10k, nor can landlord pretend security deposit didn't exist so he can keep the cash.

Seems to me if I was in Texas I would just pretend I was a buyer and get a copy of a contract that Great Western uses or one of the other bigger wholesale mills and simply make a copy  LOL.

Great idea, pretend to be a tenant.  

People simply can’t help themselves. They contact me for my empty duplex. I tell them the qualifications before a showing (yes, they are in the ad as well), and they say; “ummm...I’ll get back to you on when I want to...

@Julie McCoy Thanks for the imput I was going to do the AirBNB thing but for the life of me can not imagine why anyone in their right mind would want to vacation in Oklahoma so before figuring that all out I was in talks with hotel house keepers and in the process of talking to my network to find reliable handy people (if there is one thing Oklahoma excells at it's half wits saying they can do something they have no experience at but are willing to waste your money pretending to learn how to do the job.) 

As new deal emails arrive, pretend you're an investor and analyze the deal accordingly.

So I don't pretend to know what the future holds but this is what I Believe we will see at least until the greed on Wall St. wins again....   

I would much rather an agent simply tell me they don't want to present my offer, than pretend they will and disappear.

5) Call them and pretend to be an interested tenant, see how they treat you.
